The publication There Is No time – It’s All Erosion proposes a short reading from the idea of a time naturalized as unique, the "abstract time of machines", contrasting with the erosive and sedimentary processes that point to the "geological time".

The photographic images of rocks that compose this visual essay were edited to go through a specific printing process, with reticles and saturation, in order to create traces of layers and an allusion to the "geological time". Douglas Garcia took the photos, made the research and edited the images.

The essay about the "abstract time of machines" was written by the visual artist Daniel Jablonski, invited by Edições Membrana. Marina Oruê’s graphic design, based on the publication’s title, explores the use of the letters in Portuguese and English highlighted by graphic layers suggesting the intertwining and simultaneity between the pages.

The publication was launched at Printed Matter's Virtual Art Book Fair (PMVABF), New York, February 25th to 28th, 2021.
